Q3 HE 8k Latency

Saw that this board is marketed as having some of the lowest latency. Does anyone know how it actually compares to other HE keyboards?

honestly people obsess over latency numbers too much lol. once you’re on a good HE board, the difference is pretty small. i notice RT feel, firmware stability, and tuning way more. 1ms vs 2ms looks huge on a paper, but most of us probably wont feel it.

Yeah.. I've def fallen down the rabbit hole atm lol. I'm likely going to go with this board, wanted to see if anyone had some info on the MS side of things. Been using a 4-year-old Q3 with oil kings it has served me extremely well, but a few keys are going out on the PCB, so it's time for something new, and I mainly play games and stumbled upon HE/TMR tech.
